The author expertly gives insight into the background of other characters through Anson’s experiences. Though the narrative is written through the point of view of Anson, this does not detract from the overall feeling of well-developed characters. The Sins of Soldiers is as much a tale of war as it is a tale love and loss and what makes us human. Anson must decide what type of soldier he will be when his best friend’s life is threatened by Company Captain Tollman.
Much to Anson’s surprise, he finds solace in his comrades as well as in the life of a soldier. Anson’s mission is to understand and report on the daily life of British soldiers fighting on the Western Front if caught, he could be tried and convicted as a traitorous spy, a designation that surely warrants the death penalty.
The Sins of Soldiers by S J Hardman Lea tells the fictional tale of Anson Scott, an American journalist undercover as a British soldier during World War I.
